you'd figure a console flagship title would sell well when they have more consoles sold since the last one....
Graphs like this are meaningless. This is what it looks like for all games. Also, Halo 3 came out during a different time. Call of Duty has eaten up the majority of the Xbox user base.
There's also the issue of reporting active users in the past hour vs current active users. I don't think Halo 3 told you that.
Halo will probably never be as dominant as it once was, but it's still a great series.
Halo 4 will always be better than Halo 3 because Halo 3 doesn't have jet packs.

oh jesus i didn't combine the LE
Combining LE and regular sales, I get 5.5 million for Halo 2 in the US (not sure where the 6.6 is coming from, it didn't sell 1.1 million between end of 2007 and 2008--might have been a retroactive number adjustment or something?)

That's an incredible shame. Halo 4 is terrible.
I might go out and buy a few more copies of CE just to try to set things right. I mean, I've already bought 5, why not more.
Edit: Looks like this is some numbers game. They're talking about per year. Disingenuous.

In summer of 2011 Reach was doing very well; granted I don't know how accurate Bungie's numbers stood:Even Reach had a significantly larger daily peak than Halo 4 topping around 100,000 every day until 2012.
Lots of questionable decisions made to every facet of the game turning off communities formed for the game from competitive multiplayer, co-op multiplayer, and solo speed running.Why is there such a big backlash with Halo 4?

I'm not sure if Halo 4 is hitting above 200k at this point, especially with NBA 2K13, Battlefield 3, and others above it constantly.
Can someone explain, in depth, what is wrong with halo 4?
in what world is Halo 4 "terrible"? only on this forum right...

Because for the majority of people, it is bad.
It's not Halo. It's CoD in space. 343 tried to bring CoD players into Halo by adding CoD gameplay elements without any thought going into how that would affect gameplay. Some of us (me included) knew long before release that these changes were outright bad. Now, after release most people have come to the same realisation.
Yes, there are people who genuinely enjoy the game and good for them. I have nothing against them but the fact is they are the minority.
Halo 4 was damn fine. Playing 3 back to back with 4 exemplifies how much of a jump there was between the two. Halo 3 was once a pretty great looking, sounding, and playing game. Now it all feels like a soft marshmallow.

Maybe Halo 2 PC sold around 1m.
Just to confirm (because I like to know sales numbers), all other numbers are combined ?
Is Halo 4 actually that bad? The reviews were great and it seemed to be a huge hit.. I was considering buying a new Xbox 360 just to play it but apparently it sucks... oh well the soundtrack was great.
It's you and me against the world.Halo 4 will always be better than Halo 3 because Halo 3 doesn't have jet packs.
Good for them. I won't by buying 343's next monstrosity though. Sadly, It will sell even more anyway, due to bigger install base across 2 consoles.

Actually, Halo 3 was never considered a graphical powerhouse. One of the number 1 complaints being the sub HD resolution with no AA.
Halo 4 however is very good graphically but good graphics do not automatically equal a good game.

Halo 4 added a LOT more to Halo than Reach added to 3.
In conclusion Halo 4 killed Halo more. I'm not saying Reach is the best Halo. I'm saying its better than 4. 4 is really really really bad. From terrible marketing in the beginning, Ughh whats in each version? Oh yea they flip flopped a hundred times so nobody knows, people pissed off they bought the season map pack cause the "14 day buy n try" marketing gimmick LOL. Tournaments of failure and being dropped from MLG and the whole BTB maps fiasco, still no small maps really. Terrible playlist management continues with 4. Vehicles suck, Create your own loadouts suck, Perks suck, Flinch sucks, No doubles and Snipers in beginning of Halo 4, how have they not realized those need to be launch playlists? My buddy I visited last weekend was like why doesnt Halo 4 have doubles? I had to tell him it did, cause he stopped playing cause it didnt have doubles in the beginning. The UI, OH GOD THE UI. What is with that shit, such a failure from the Active Roster and UI Reach had. The fact there is literally no ranking system until 6 months or so in and its still invisible in-game! No motivation to play the game. Did I mention personal ordnance? Randomness everywhere. Theres a sniper that gives you a kill in this game if you get a BODY shot. Yea and the beam rifle has auto aim so you can snapshot incredibly easy, autoaim in a warthog means you can snapshot over and over. The MANTIS. Literally everything Halo 4 has done is broken in some aspect. All of the patches were broken at first.KEVIN FRANKLIN. The flag changes, Indicator on flag making it babby level casual gaming. Objective is 6v6? WTF? Multi-Team is what 8 teams of 2? Regicide Mario Kart level scoring! And just look at the population dropoffs. 92% dropoff. You literally now have the game at the bottom out level, Its probably not going to get much lower because just by chance yyou happen to have ~30K players hop on Halo at peak hours. They probably dont even really want to its just their default action in life. Halo Waypoint Stats site which is still way too fancy and slow compared to bungie.net stats! The fileshare not working for like 5 months or something crazy like that!
Please Reach is far from perfect but Halo 4 is bad, like real bad. Look at how no one plays it, because its NOT fun. Its NOT competitive. Its nothing really.
If you're entirely new to the series, you probably wouldn't know what and/or why certain things are bad.
